Rudy Gestede

[Ginger Ninja]

Daily Mail reckons we are considering an offer.
Just the sort of striker we should be looking at imo. No doubt some will still moan though.

Age 26,6'4"and 23 in 38 for Blackburn.Doesn't sound too shabby.

Christ on a bike, does every opinion now have to come with a preemptive strike at those who hold a different opinion.

Of course those that disagree with me on this, will be a bunch of smelly-heads who are wrong about it.......

On topic, I have my doubts about Gestede stepping up, but it's a realistic buy for us that may well work out.

It's pretty juvenile in all honesty. Some people may moan about it, but it doesn't mean that they are wrong, or that their arguments are any less valid.

Personally, I think he would be an excellent signing. Tall, strong goalscorers are in short supply right now, and at 24 he is the perfect age. In terms of the OP doubts on Gestede stepping up - I had the same concerns with Charlie, and that's turned out OK so far - we won't know until we give him a chance. Considering Blackburn are currently prohibited by a transfer embargo, I would imagine that they are a) keen to sell and b) willing to acceptable a reasonable offer. This ticks all the boxes for me.

Absolutely, it's the kind of signing we need to be making, assuming that the price is right obviously. It's how we used to go about things.

They can claim their right to sl@g off a signing without giving a chance yet cant take criticism for doing so . juvenile is very aptly put

[bakes8]

Zamora replacement.

[Fordy]

Was dog shite for Cardiff. Playing well for Blackburn though.

I'm yet to read of anyone critcising this potential signing so far.

[dogsrrs]

Didn't the op say words to the effect that someone would complain about him if signed ,
Which in turn was complained about

[72bus]

never heard of the lad

[maidstone_hoop]

Could be a good signing - one of those ones you just need to take a punt on if the price is right. Has the right attributes and if he has the right attitude then why not. A realistic target as well.

I would like Defoe for on loan personally. you know what your getting with him and that's goals. Don't want to see us spunk a fortune on him but until the end of the season or a 1 year deal it would be worth it but I have no idea how complicated his deal is with Toronto.

[Shepherds Mush]

Would definitely be an outlet up front and a real target man in the box. Personally think either of Gestede or Rhodes would be quality.

Exactly

[twranger]

would be a superb signing judging by his Blackburn career so far....maybe he'd like to bring his Scotland mate with him?
